System Verdict
Excellent cleanser, but the rose water and alcohol-leaning preservation make it less universally gentle than the price tag suggests. I gave this a solid cleanser score because the base uses S Tier mild surfactants like Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate and Coco-Glucoside, with glycerin and emollients helping reduce stripping; however, its efficacy cannot be scored like a leave-on treatment because the antioxidant and peptide extras are mostly rinse-off after a short contact time. The formula is strong on cleansing comfort, not on lasting active delivery, and the added fragrant botanical water plus potential irritant O-Cymen-5-Ol keep it out of the very top cleanser tier.
